She’s coming around

A few weeks ago my wife said that she and my daughter would start coming to Church with my son and me. Inside I was doing cartwheels.

Now the back story: Lainey (wife) and Sophie (daugheter, aged 8) have been going to Lainey’s Baptist Church. Paul (aged 2) has been coming to St. Anne with me. Lainey and I both long for us all to be together on in worship, but I made it clear that this was not something I would comprimise on.

Her change partly came about in the context of asking her assent to have Paul baptized. I think he will be soon. Shucks the kid has been trying to climb into the baptistry (literally) since he could walk. When I go up for communion I take him with me and Father gives him a blessing. I kinda sling him below the cloth as I take communion. Last week, when I hoisted him up to get his blessing he said, “I eat it.” I can’t think of a more obvious indication that the boy should be baptized.
